Unforgettable experience!
I had amazing 6 days, 5 nights exploring the different parks of Northern Tanzania. I saw many many animals, also very close by (only 1-2 meters away) which was absolutely breathtaking! I also saw lions hunting a prey and many baby animals. The sunset at Serengeti and sunrise at Ngorongoro are absolutely amazing!
I traveled solo and did a joined group safari. For 5 days I was with one group and the last day I joined another group with another driver. I slept in lodges while the others were camping so some time was spent dropping off and picking up everyone and prepping the car with the tent equipment. This wasn't clear to me from the start. I expected to be with the same group the whole trip and thought we were sleeping in the same places. However, the way they do things makes sense so everyone gets the package they want. This could have been communicated more clearly beforehand, but I also didn't ask.
In the end I wasn't bothered by it and the group I traveled with as well as all the drivers were great people! Also Emanuel clarified all my questions on the way since he was quick to answer my messages.
Big thank you would go to Saleem, the driver for 4 days, since he delivered everything he promised and we saw more than could ever hope for! Mussa and Penda were also great drivers and I had wonderful conversations with them. They were very happy to share information about their country!

Amazing!
I loved our experience with Benson! Our organization climbed Kilimanjaro with them for charity. The entire operation was organized, communicative, and safe. The food was most surprising! Coffee at our tent door every morning, and even meals for us vegetarians. We loved getting to know the team and their expertise. They even surprised us with a birthday cake on our final day for our organization's anniversary! I would highly recommend them!

Dream trip
This safari was my lifetime dream trip, ever since my visit to The Bronx Zoo in first grade. Sabrina really nailed it with our itinerary. The choices of lodges and locations within the Okavango Delta gave thus the opportunity to experience three distinct environments with varying fauna and flora. Our guides, the staff, lodging and food could not have been better. Sabrina is a pleasure to deal with and always answered my questions promptly. Very professional outfit and they know their stuff. Yes, it was pricey and a once-in-a-lifetime splurge for us but we don’t regret a penny. I highly recommend using their services.

I went to the safari with high expectations and was they were exceeded.
Lewis was the best driver we could have asked for. We always felt really safe with him and he was an exceptional guide, he knew all the animals, fun facts about them and had an eagle eye for spotting them. He was also always in a good mood, making the early mornings wake ups really easier.
Besides Lewis, we also traveled with Salim, our chef. I was not expecting to have some of the best meals I had ever have while on a safari, but I had. The food was definitely one of the highlights of this safari.
About the safari itself, it was a very good experience and we got to see many animals interacting, from zebras scratching their heads, to buffalos chasing lions.
Definitely recommend the experience, Suricata Safaris and Lewis & Salim :)

Amazing!
We had an amazing experience with Suricata Safari! Ali, who organized our trips, was very nice and made time to personally meet with us before and after the trip to answer any questions or concerns. He made it easy for us by planning everything out so that we would have plenty of time in each park.
Our guide Lewis was so sweet and welcoming and very knowledgeable about the animals, the land, and the indigenous tribes. We felt very safe in his hands!
Salim also had a very welcoming presence and was an amazing chef who would cook delicious fresh Tanzanian meals everyday day!
They both had such a fun, calm, and positive personality that made our experience unforgettable!

Incredible adventure
We had the choice between many agencies but we decided to trust Safari Soles and we were right. The safari was organized to perfection. Our guide and driver Mtinangi was very professional and he knew what he was doing. He was attentive and thanks to him we were able to see many species of animals including the famous "big 5". We camped in the middle of the African bush which was an amazing experience and we always felt safe. The staff took care of everything and we ate incredible dishes carefully prepared by our chef Pius, Safari chef for 10 years. I sincerely recommend that you organize your safari through this agency, you will not be disappointed.

Spirit of Africa in 10 days - great Tourguide (Collin) - Big Five - great countryside
It was a great experience. The organisation via email was uncomplicated and the Joseph the manager answered within one day. We visited 4 different Nationalparks and our Tour Guide Collin was very friendly, helpful and experienced. He was able to manage the Big Five. He had knowledge about history of Kenia and about the wildlife. Massive Mara is the most impressive what we ever have seen so far Nakuru and Amboseli were also very nice. Naivasha is to be honest not necessary but as a stop over ok.
Be aware that the travel from Amboseli to Diani Beach is really long so if we will book again we will scratch the last 2 days Diani Beach.
